"The Jaguars placed veteran cornerback Jourdan Lewis on injured reserve on Thursday, per a team announcement. Lewis will undergo foot surgery and miss the rest of the 2025 season, including the playoffs, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Since Jacksonville has already clinched a spot in the postseason, Lewis could have theoretically returned for a potential AFC Championship game appearance. Unfortunately, his injury is too severe to even attempt a rushed recovery."
"Lewis went down in Sunday's win over the Broncos. He has appeared in 12 games this year as the Jaguars' primary nickel with 39 tackles, 10 passes defended, and two interceptions. He missed three games in November, during which time he was replaced by second-year corner Jarrian Jones. Jones played well enough to keep a role on the boundary after Lewis' return in Week 13; those snaps will need to be filled if he moves back into the slot."
"Jacksonville could turn to Christian Braswell, who has been active for the last eight games for special teams work and a reserve role on defense. The Jaguars also signed veteran Keith Taylor off the Falcons' practice squad a corresponding move to Lewis' IR placement. The former Panther and Chief appeared in two games in Atlanta this season and has enough experience to serve as a backup for the rest of the year."
Jourdan Lewis was placed on injured reserve and will undergo foot surgery, ruling him out for the remainder of the 2025 season and playoffs. He suffered the injury in Sunday's win over the Broncos and has totaled 39 tackles, 10 passes defended, and two interceptions across 12 appearances as Jacksonville's primary nickel. Lewis missed three November games and was temporarily replaced by Jarrian Jones, who retained a boundary role after Lewis returned. The Jaguars may use Christian Braswell, newly signed veteran Keith Taylor, or move Eric Murray into the slot to cover Lewis' snaps.
